Steering whel cover reccomendations

Post by Five-O » Fri Nov 10, 2023 11:37 am

I'm looking to tide up my steering wheel but would rather do it myself than pay to send it away.
Can anyone recommend a stitch on steering wheel cover please?

post some pictures up of the condition of the wheel.
You can actually get some good results deep cleaning the leather with something like magic eraser pads from the supermarket, and then apply furniture clinic leather leather repair paint, worked well for me.

yes, considering it was pretty manky before, it came out well.
The furniture clinic stuff is excellent, and obviously good for the seat bolsters as well.

Finally went out and got a photo in the daylight.
It's not too bad just a bit cracked on the top. Quite hard to see.

Start by cleaning, woolite 7:1 ratio, with magic eraser then wash off with water.

Re-dye black. It will come up great.

Leave 24 hours ideally. (At the very least overnight)

I do this about once per year.

Gives a factory matte black finish.
